Five thousand years after he died, the first known gay caveman has emerged into the daylight.
According to archaeologists, the way he was buried suggests that he was of a different sexual persuasion.
The skeleton of the late Stone Age man, unearthed during excavations in the Czech Republic, is said to date back to between 2900 and 2500 BC.
Another member of the archaeological team, Katerina Semradova, said that colleagues had uncovered an earlier case dating from the Mesolithic period where a female warrior was buried as a man.
She added that Siberian shamans, or witch doctors, were also buried in this way but with richer funeral accessories appropriate to their elevated position in society.
‘This later discovery was neither of those. We believe this is one of the earliest cases of what could be described as a transvestite or third-gender grave in the Czech Republic.

Not long ago Bishop Lamont was being hailed as the heir to the West Coast throne. He was Dr Dre's next prized protege. A lot has changed in the last year for Bishop, who is no longer associated with Aftermath Records.
Towards the end there was a lot of speculation about whether he was still signed or dropped from Aftermath. Bishop said all bullsh*t and drama gave him ulcers.
"I took a little time off after I was free because that was too much stress," Bishop says. "Actually from the stress of that whole ordeal I got stomach ulcers. I was sick and didn't know it."
It was thought Bishop would sign to another major, but he says he'll never go that route again.
"I really don't see myself going back to a major. The only thing that kinda makes sense is single deals, other than that I wanna do everything independent," Bishop explained. "There comes a time in that system you will be placed in a situation where you will have to forsake family for work hours and work days. And I will never make those mistakes again where I missed Thanksgivings and birthdays sometimes and different events to be in the studio slaving for a system that doesn't give a sh*t about that blood, sweat and tears."
With renewed health the Carson. Ca MC is now fully focused on getting his debut album 'The Reformation' finished.
He feels his faith in God will help carry him.
"God has put me in a position where things will be at the success level they are supposed to be," he said

A Colorodo mom is dealing with the aftermath of the police pepper spraying her eight-year old son at school.
The police said they had to take such measures because the boy was out of control, throwing a violent temper tantrum that forced at least two teachers to hide.
The boy, Aiden told the told teachers "if you come out you're gonna die!"
When police arrived they pepper sprayed him right there in the classroom in order to subdue him.
"It burned my eyes," says Aiden
His mom Mandy is upset the police didn't try to calm him down for 5-10 minutes before spraying him.
"I think that it's excessive, I think that they could have tried to talk to him 5-10 minutes to see if they could get him to calm down, but that doesn't seem like that's what they did," she said.
Aiden had basically torn the classroom up. Police say he threw a tv cart, chairs and ripped wood trimming from the walls. They deemed him to be too out of control to subdue any other way.
Is this good police work or some lazy ass cops acting like they couldn't take down a 2nd grader?

As far as pure off the top of the head comedy Tracy Morgan might be the funniest man on the planet.
His appearance on Conan O'Brien was dumb funny. The only serious part of the show was Tracy talking about getting a kidney transplant recently. Other than that it was like a stand up routine.
There's a new development in the case of Notorious B.I.G's murder. It has been learned that he was killed with rounds of Gecko 9mm armor piercing ammunition. That brand of ammunition is made in Germany and is rarely seen in the U.S..
Even with the latest discovery, the investigation has moved at a snail's pace. One detective, Russel Poole quit the LAPD because he felt like his investigation into Biggie's death was being stonewalled by the police force. Poole believed strongly that Officer David Mack had committed the murder along with a friend Amir Muhammad.
Allhiphop reports that this new information came via the Freedom of Information act. In the report the FBI blames LAPD officers for helping the killer escape.
Many LAPD cops moonlighted as security for Death Row Records owner Suge Knight at the time.
